It’s that time of year when our minds turn to activities such as camping trips or hiking adventures, to make the most of the longer days. But before heading outside you need to ensure your equipment is ready to cope with either rain showers or hot sunshine. Synthetic fabrics used on tents and rucksacks are coated with a water repellent treatment, but exposure to UV light will destroy this and diminish the fabric tear strength, meaning your equipment’s lifespan is reduced.

Nikwax Concentrated Tent & Gear SolarProof doubles the life of equipment by protecting against UV damage and replacing the Durable Water Repellency (DWR).
